Allan,
Somewhere in portrait hell there is someone who will shoot me for telling you this. It will help you with learning values.
Take a piece of transparent plastic. Place it over a good color print of Camilla. Mix the tones to match the values right on the photograph itself. I will help you quickly learn values. It helped me because I was also afraid of making skin-tones too dark. Mine were always so pasty.
There is a downside to this. Depending on it to much will result in photographic color and not developing your eye. It is a good jump start however on judging values. That is why I always recommend doing studies if not the whole thing from life.
Good luck!
